Synopsis

Shipwrecked and believed dead by his friends, Captain Philip Elliot has been in hiding whilst spying on one of Napoleon's most trusted lieutenants. Despite being in exile, Bonaparte still has grandiose plans of escape and conquering Europe . . . with the help of his ex-mistress, La Glacier, the most beautiful and complicit woman in France. Now the Duke of Wellington wants Philip to come out of hiding in order to help expose La Glacier's plot to free the Emperor.

Lady Amelia Blake has taken London Society by storm, having multiple suitors and multiple offers for her hand—yet she can accept none of them. Pining after Captain Elliot after a brief acquaintance, she could not find another man who had the same effect on her. When one of her suitors attempts to force her hand, she jumps at the chance to escape to France and help Wellington spy on her mysterious aunt. Only, she discovers her partner in this endeavor is the very man she is trying to forget.

Will she be up to the task when her heart has such divided loyalties?

About Elizabeth Johns

USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Johns was first an avid reader, though she was a reluctant convert. It was Jane Austen's clever wit and unique turn of phrase that hooked Johns when she was "forced" to read Pride and Prejudice for a school assignment. She began writing when she ran out of her favorite author's books and decided to try her hand at crafting a Regency romance novel. Her journey into publishing began with the release of Surrender the Past, book one of the Loring-Abbott series. Johns makes no pretensions to Austen's wit but hopes readers will perhaps laugh and find some enjoyment in her writing.

Johns attributes much of her inspiration to her mother, a retired English teacher. During their last summer together, Johns would sit on the porch swing and read her stories to her mother, who encouraged her to continue writing. Busy with multiple careers, including a professional job in the medical field, author and mother Johns squeezes in time for reading whenever possible.

Goodreads review by PingPing on November 30, 2016

An very honest account of what Kenneth had endured including his struggle, his hope, his heart for the people of North Korea. Gripping yet can feel his sense of calmness and his strong faith, his low point in his faith and how he regained his faith when different events unfolded. I couldn't imagine......more

Goodreads review by Max on September 27, 2020

Since you believe in a different god, you came to pray against us and against our Great Leader. Memoirs are always difficult to review, and Kenneth Bae's harrowing memoir is no difficult. Convicted of some of the highest crimes against the North Korean state, he violated Article 60 of the Constitutio......more

Quite an enjoyable read! When the author wasn't rambling about God, his observations of North Korea were interesting. I did think that Kenneth Bae alone was responsible for many of his experiences in North Korea though. If the "Supreme Leader"is taken out of North Korean propaganda, and replaced wit......more

Goodreads review by Brian on June 13, 2016

This book is as fascinating as it is harrowing. Mr. Bae's journey as a North Korean was definitely a struggle, but if you are as morbidly curious about the goings-on of the modern day DPRK as I am, the silver lining to this whole experience is that it does provide real insight to the mindset of Nort......more

Goodreads review by Tim on May 11, 2016

As I continue to devour anything I can around North Korea, this story was a fascinating recap of Kenneth Bae's struggle as the longest-held hard labor camp prisoner since the Korean War. He went over as a missionary, so there's obviously a lot of his God-stuff in here, but if you look past that, you......more
